I'm loving the volume of Ohio drivers here! Yeah I was just talking about 2k under invoice. I think that's crazy on a brand new release. I got 1k off msrp and was happy with that. Sure I could have pushed for more bit at the time I was just expecting to pay msrp, if not more. In hindsight I should have pushed for cheaper, but oh well. Lesson learned. I'm still just happy to be getting this sucker soon.

I was given a price of $39,296 for the launch edition with the package below. Should I be trying to haggle with the dealer to get that down? Seems crazy to try and lowball the guy considering there's only 1000 of them out there.

For those who are thinking about the cloth seats they are very comfortable and look really nice.

Another bonus is non-leather cloth material seats come default and de-FACT-to on Base Wrxs which is what I and my group buy connects are interested in. I'm not sure if it is the chair or the actual material but the LEATHER seats on the <=14s led directly to back problems. The leather in the <14 was unimpressive so have to sit in the '15s leather in order to confirm prior to purcha$e!. bye bye 2 group buy then.

Raven post some pictures, also what did you get? Base 6Spd?
Some pics of the base interior would be nice.
That's exactly what I'm looking at.

I already posted exterior pics, will try to capture some interior tonight. Canadian mid-level, so basically a Premium but we get the LED lights (and pay more than you for the pleasure).

How were the summers on the slush and snow? I put winters on before moving the car from the dealership, but then the weather has been good since LMAO! The good thing is that the car feels nice on the winters (Xi3), and not wanting to wear them out straight away is helping me keep things calm during the break-in

Is that more than msrp? I wouldn't let them sell you on the "only 1000" idea, in the end it's a car with gold wheels. And while a lot of people do love the car, the number of people who can afford the car and who are willing to buy one with gold wheels is not that high. Paying 2k more than invoice is too much in my opinion, work that number down.

I agree with this. Don't overpay for the launch. especially if this will be your daily driver. The launch editions are cool as a collectible, but high mileage collectibles are worth a lot less. So if it's gonna be your daily driver, just get a limited STi at invoicish.

The USDM WRX STi went to 5x114.3 in 2005. That's why I suggested grabbing STi BBS wheels before they skyrocket in price. Just as an FYI, a set of 2004 17x7.5 BBS wheels (5x100) go for $1500 while a set of 2005-2007 17x8 STi BBS (5x114.3) wheels go for $400-500. This is supply and demand. WRX owners grab up the BBS wheels that fit 5x100 hubs. But that's about to change...

Not too well ... a corner slush surprise had me sliding a bit more than I wanted, but came around in time ... after that I slowed a bit til I got to the parking lot ... then I had a little fun til others started showing up ... I plan to get some winter ones before next winter.
